Picture this: you've just spotted the perfect outfit on ASOS, but you need it by the weekend—and express shipping is going to cost you another $10. Sound familiar? After years of tracking deals and testing memberships across dozens of retailers, I can tell you that ASOS Premier might be the easiest savings decision you make all year. This guide breaks down every dollar, every delivery window, and real shopper experiences so you can decide with confidence.
ASOS offers three shipping tiers for US customers: standard delivery, express delivery, and ASOS Premier—an annual membership that unlocks unlimited express shipping. Each serves a different type of shopper, and knowing the difference helps you avoid overpaying every single order.
ASOS Premier is a $19.99/year subscription that gives US shoppers unlimited express delivery on orders of $50 or more, plus free standard shipping on orders over $20. You buy it once, it covers a full 12 months, and you never have to think about delivery fees again for qualifying orders. Activation takes up to 1 hour after purchase, and you'll get a confirmation email once it's live.
Unlimited express delivery on orders $50+ (2 business days)
Free standard shipping on all orders $20+
Access to member-exclusive discounts and early sale notifications
Automatic enrollment in ASOS.WORLD loyalty rewards
Available in 15 countries, including the US, UK, and Germany
Standard delivery is free for all US shoppers on orders over $70—no membership needed. For orders under $70, a shipping fee applies. Delivery typically takes 5–8 business days, which works fine if you're not in a rush, but is a real pain if you need something for an event.
| Delivery Type | Cost (No Premier) | Cost (With Premier) | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Free over $70 | Free over $20 | 5–8 business days |
| Express | $8.99–$20.00/order | Free on orders $50+ | 2 business days |
| Express Click & Collect | $10/order | $10/order | 2 business days |
ASOS Premier costs $19.99 per year in the United States—that's less than $1.67 per month. It auto-renews annually, and you can cancel at any time from your account settings. If you've never made a qualifying purchase and cancel within 1 calendar month, ASOS may offer a refund; after that, the fee is non-refundable.
Without Premier, every express order costs between $8.99 and $20.00, depending on your location and cart total. Standard shipping kicks in for free once you hit $70 per order—but if your cart comes in under that, you're paying shipping fees every single time.
| Express Orders/Year | Without Premier | With Premier | You Save |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ~$10.00 | $19.99 | –$9.99 |
| 2 | ~$20.00 | $19.99 | Break Even ✓ |
| 5 | ~$50.00 | $19.99 | ~$30 |
| 10 | ~$100.00 | $19.99 | ~$80 |
| 20 | ~$200.00 | $19.99 | ~$180 |

ASOS Express delivery arrives in 2 business days (Monday–Friday) when you order before your state's daily cutoff time. Some areas also see Saturday delivery. The exact delivery date is shown at checkout based on your zip code—so there's no guessing involved.
A few things to know before counting on express:
Express does not ship to PO Boxes or military addresses—use standard for those
Cutoff times can shift during peak sale seasons (Black Friday, holiday)—check before ordering
Some items sourced from third-party brands within ASOS may use separate fulfillment timelines
Express Click & Collect to UPS or Nordstrom pickup points costs $10 even with Premier
Standard delivery takes 5–8 business days and is free on orders over $70 for non-Premier shoppers, or over $20 for Premier members. This is the most common delivery choice for budget-conscious shoppers who plan ahead. The trade-off is time—which, for last-minute purchases, can be a dealbreaker.
One thing I always remind friends: standard delivery is the only option available for PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, and some remote zip codes. If you're in one of those situations, Premier's express perk won't apply to your specific address—so factor that in before subscribing.
One fashion blogger who subscribed to ASOS Premier documented her experience in detail after six months of active use. She ordered roughly twice a month and found that the membership "pays for itself" through a combination of free express deliveries and member-only promotional codes that arrived regularly in her inbox. In just 6 months, she received around 8 pre-sale discount invitations.
Her honest verdict: "At just $9.99 for a year [at the time], Premier is well worth it if you're impatient and shop ASOS regularly. The discount codes alone have more than covered the cost." She also specifically highlighted the peace of mind of knowing her order would arrive quickly without a second thought about fees. That blogger's account remains one of the most cited real-user takes on whether ASOS Premier delivers genuine value.
Shoppers who skip Premier and use standard delivery generally have a neutral experience—orders arrive within the 5–8 day window as advertised, and the free $70 threshold is accessible for most full-cart purchases. The most common complaint? Paying $10+ for express last-minute and later realizing a full year of unlimited express was only $19.99.
In my experience reading through ASOS shopper communities, the majority of non-Premier shoppers who complain about delivery costs are exactly the profile who'd benefit most from the membership: they order express a few times per year but never do the annual math.
ASOS gives you a 45-day returns window on most items. You initiate returns through your account, and ASOS sends you a prepaid shipping label. Refunds typically process within 5–10 business days of ASOS receiving your return—though at busy times, it can stretch a bit longer.
The main thing to watch for: if your order includes items from multiple ASOS warehouse locations (which happens when you mix main-line ASOS items with third-party brand products), you may receive multiple shipments and need to process separate returns. That's not a Premier issue specifically—it's an ASOS logistics quirk worth knowing about.
ASOS Premier does not include free return shipping as a membership perk. That's a common misconception—ASOS provides prepaid return labels to all customers (Premier or not), but it's part of their standard policy, not an exclusive membership benefit. Your delivery choice doesn't change your return eligibility or the 45-day window.
ASOS Premier costs $19.99 per year in the United States. The membership auto-renews annually. You can purchase it at checkout or directly from your account. At the time of writing, there is no monthly payment option—it's a one-time annual fee.
No—ASOS Premier does not include free return shipping as an exclusive perk. However, ASOS provides prepaid return labels to all shoppers as part of their standard returns policy, regardless of membership status. So practically speaking, returns don't cost you out of pocket with or without Premier.
ASOS has always included a fair use clause in their Premier terms, designed to prevent bulk-buying resellers from abusing the unlimited delivery perk. ASOS does not publicly disclose a specific enforcement start date, but the policy has been a consistent part of their terms and conditions. The membership is intended for personal shopping use only.
Yes—you can cancel your ASOS Premier auto-renewal at any time through your account settings under "Manage Subscription." Your Premier benefits remain active through the end of your paid year. If you cancel within the first calendar month and haven't placed any qualifying orders, you may be eligible for a refund—check with ASOS customer care directly for your specific situation.
The minimum order amount for free express delivery with ASOS Premier is $50. For free standard delivery, the minimum drops to $20. Orders under $20 will still incur a standard shipping fee even with Premier membership active—so it pays to top up your cart a little when you're close to that threshold.
ASOS Premier is currently available in 15 countries, including the United States, the UK, France, Germany, and Australia. If you're browsing from a supported country, you'll see Premier as an option in your cart and account settings. For the most up-to-date list of eligible countries, check the Premier delivery page on your regional ASOS website.
